For unto us a Child is born

      Nicodemus a Jewish religious leader approached Yeshua in secret one evening.
Therein prompted the biblical cornerstone of Yeshua's message. Listen to Yeshua's
words to Nicodemus. Here was a learned religious leader, a member of the Sanhedrin.
Nicodemus was a member of Israel's highest, most prestigious court and a recognized
expert in the Mosaic law. Yeshua said bluntly

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,[a] you cannot see the 
Kingdom of God.” ~ John 3:3

followed by, Christ's Message and Mission to the world
 
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone 
who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world
 not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not 
believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.

~John 3:16-18 

I have often wondered why the message of Yeshua is still rejected, distorted and maligned
by generations since. Perhaps the reason is, Yeshua himself, remarked in Matthew 19


13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on 
them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.
14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of 
Heaven belongs to those who are like these children. 15 And he placed his hands
on their heads and blessed them before he left.

~Matthew 19:13-15
